Second, I would be very interested in an Apple tablet even if it did not do much more than run iPhone apps, although I agree that it will be important to do more and I too expect it to do most of the things you mention. But, the reason I would be interested in it is that I need a small, easy to carry device that is less than a laptop but more than an iPhone that I can take to meetings and use to take notes, make presentations and to access data I have stored in the cloud. The iPhone almost does this for me, but when I use it to take notes for example, people think I am writing emails, IM'ing or twittering (likely @Targuman). Aside from this problem of appearances, I would like the tablet to be able to run multiple apps simultaneously so that I can look at notes, for example, even as I edit a wiki page or a word processing document.
